I still have head hunger and have the urge to eat. However, every time I have eaten this weekend I feel sick to my stomach afterwards. It takes an hour or so for the nausea and upset to go away. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat! I'm a little over 2 weeks out. I'm thinking for the next couple days I'll just stick to Protein shakes and hope this issue goes away?

Any advice?

You should really ask your surgeon for Zofran sublingual. I have had nausea on and off and I can relate and now when I have that feeling I just take a Zofran and it helps so much.

I second the Zofran suggestion!!!!! I am 10 weeks out and still need one every now and then. Mine are pills but they are very small and easy to swallow. I don't think I could have gotten this far without it!

Head hunger is definitely real. I only was nauseous when I woke up from surgery. My problem was taste and smell. Many thing smelled like dirt to me in the beginning. I avoid head hunger by only eating when my alarm goes off. I still stick to it but it has gotten easier almost 4 months out... More like second nature.

One thing I love is Yasso frozen Greek yogurt bars... Definitely a treat when nothing else is appealing. 80 calories and 6gm of Protein.< /p>

Amen to all the zofran suggestions. The sublingual are great because the work pretty fast.

I have some of the zofran pills. I took one yesterday and it did help. Problem is I don't want to use many as my insurance will only cover 12 of them every 30 days. My surgeon proscribed 15 and I only got 12. I wasn't nauseous till this weekend. I guess I can just see what the cost without insurance would be on them. I do fine as long as I don't eat which is why I figure this is temporary. Just going to steer clear of most food and focus on shakes?

When I got my first prescription for them my insurance was the same...but it just took a phone call. So I got approved for up to 30 each month for 12 months.

If they are 8mg u can split them a 4mg is usually pretty effective. It's (4mg)the lower dose prescribed. Idk if it would help but if he gave u 4mg maybe u could ask for 8mg and have more by splitting them and if 1 wasn't effective could take the full 8mg.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
